I want to look into getting some new switches for my CTRL, but I am not sure how to shop for switches on this keyboard. I know I want clear tops, which pretty much limits me to gaterons or kaihua, but Kaihua's are too heavy (I am looking for cherry mx brown weighting), and cherry mx switches (red, blues, browns, and blacks) have black tops and no little port for the pcb mounted leds to shine through. Gaterons are available in the clear tops, but I don't see the little clear port at the bottom of the switch for surface mounted LEDs to shine through? Then again, I know cherry mx browns were offered later on in this drop, so there must be something I am missing??
TL;DR: Basically I need a light tactile switch that has all of the LED amenities as the kailhs. Any advice?

kxrider85I do use zealios zilents and like them very much. You need a pliers to remove two stems per key, so it can be plate mounted.
